Great idea, and the execution looks nice.
However, I don't like giving up any of my air vents.

Does anyone know of any gps mounts that fits perfect with the otterbox defender case? Thanks.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I just cut the clips off a Garmin GPS mount, cut the clip off the Otterbox belt holster, and epoxied the two together. So far it's working well for me, though I never used the belt holster in the first place.

Thanks i will definitely use that website.

Funny that website actually inspired me. I forgot I had a broken otterbox belt clip and an extra garmin gps mount. So I combine the two with some reinforced industrial strength glue. It also fits snug without the glue. So the glue added that extra seal. Saved $30. Here's some pic's. Thanks it really got me to think..

I love my speck case but there's no way i can take it on and off my Note everytime i go somewhere. Anyone know of a car mount that will fit mid size cases??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Doesn't have to be specifically a speck case, just something with extra room..
Universal or phone specific? I use a Bracketron universal holder fitted to a cupholder mount. They also have suction cup for windshield/ dashboard mounts as well as vent mounts. They sell at BB and a few others. Typically around $30 or so. Mine expands very wide and should have no issues fitting the Note with any case on it.

Here is the mount in my current configuration:
It might be rotated but you'll get the idea.

Wow that's exactly what i need. Can i get a link to the piece the holds the note itself? And are the suction cups/ cup mounts interchangeable?

Just ordered the Exomount Universal. Should have it in a few days. Had to order it with a Galaxy Nexus screen protector and case plus car charger since everyone is sold out of the black mount only. Still cheaper off Amazon than direct from Exogear and whatever I sell the extra stuff for makes the mount even cheaper= win.

I actually dislike my speck case. I cabt take it off without scratching my phone and it hates my zagg screen protector

How does it scratch the phone? Or are you just having a hard time getting it pulled off?
Anyways...I bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grip-IT-Vent-Mount-Kit/20451899 this mount last Christmas on a roadtrip to hold my Inspire 4g in a CaseMate.
It holds my note just fine as well. Mounts in my vent, all buttons/ports are accessible, very adjustable, rotates for landscape just fine.
Depending on your vents it may work pretty well. It worked fine in my gfs focus, and is perfect in my jeep. Yes it fits my note with speck with room to spare.

Has anyone tried out any of the eForCity cases for their phone?
I bought my phone of Craigslist and it came with an Otterbox...but I really want something that has a flap to prevent lint from getting in the headphone jack. I was searching Newegg and stumbled onto this...
edit: I guess I can't post links so go to newegg and search for item 9SIA0PG09H1833
For $6 it might just go ahead and get it, but I figured check here first.
Thanks!
The otterbox has covers ( "flaps" ) for the headphone jack and USB charger.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have one and it adds a ton of bulk to the phone and lint likes to get caught in all the crevices of the case. It also clings to your pocket a bit until your hand oils impregnate the case. I've dropped my phone a few dozen times and these style cases protect it quite well. For the price I'd give it a try.

My Otterbox has one for the USB charger but not the headphone jack...maybe it was modified by the previous owner.
Yeah, that sucks. Well if you like the case, buy a new one.

Ok，I cut two squares out of the plastic to expose the charging contacts.
This is confusing, it looks clean though

Looks like he cut two squares out of the plastic to expose the charging contacts. If anyone sells parts for these we could just buy the plastic from a variant that comes with access holes and put it on the Verizon version.

The last person i recall trying to swap the rear frames ended up with no LTE and no wifi. :crying:
It looks strightforward, but i would definitely like some more detail from the OP.
Did you have to add an copper material to the charging contacts in order for them to make contact with the QI terminals?
Unless our phones differ then yes he added material I did a similar process works great
Any1 trying this you need to be very careful
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
What did you add? It seems like it would be easier and safer to add a good bead of solder to each terminal on the QI piece. This way if you do make a mistake you're ruining the charging accessory and not the phone.

From my experience doing this via the copper tape method, he would've not only had to do this but attached the charging pins to the motherboard that are seen through the mid piece as well.

LOL are you [email protected]#ing kidding me. Verizon blocked up the contacts with plastic on their version of the phone, but left the actual internals the same?
WHY.
"Herp derp here let's take this amazing internationally launched phone and derp it down to our herp level." Stupid [email protected]#ing morons.
Ye I dont get it is it just under all thi
s plastic thats in the back of my phone??

Sure.
I solder two stock contacts on the motherboard.
And cut two square holes in the plastic frame.
Buy a N7100 QI wireless charging back cover.
With any QI standard charging pad.

Where'd you get these pins to solder to the motherboard?

I've also been wondering where one can get those pins. I've not had much luck sourcing them.

Lmao, seriously. Verizon provides good service only because they invested in lte instead of another technology, unlike the other carriers, and lte won. I don't even care that they put their name on everything.they can do whatever they want with that respect. But they make some stupid decisions sometimes..stupid for the consumer at least. I can't guess what they benefit from doing that

I got those pins and QI charger from taobao.com, about $40.
Does the back cover for wireless charging sacrifice nfc functionality? Might have been why big red decided to not include it on our 605s... They try to do the thinking for us and protect us from ourselves
Props to whoever found the contacts on the board!

I'm using a Samsung wireless charging cover with a uag case. The fit isn't perfect but totally usable. It charges well with case on with the Samsung official charger and a Chinese knock off receiver. It doesn't work with my official nexus 5 charger.

I can vouch for OEM Samsung charging back and base while in an OtterBox Defender case. Only mod to case was removal of the "foam/rubber" sticky insert on the back. Otherwise, it fits and charges. Tight but it fits.... :good:
haven't heard any friends having something like that
